Battery life is one of the most important considerations when designing wireless products. If it is too short, users will have to charge or change batteries often, leading to frustration and possibly less use of the product. But as well as making sure your battery has enough capacity, you need to make sure your product is using it effectively.

Talking about power consumption can be like running into a minefield of misconception, prejudice and marketing buzzwords. Determining what all the statements mean in reality is not always an easy task. 

Before evaluating the various connectivity options for your IoT project, it’s important to understand the functional architecture of IoT solutions.

When designing your product, it’s crucial that you choose a memory technology that lets you update your firmware easily. Otherwise, you may have to scrap a lot of products if you find errors. If this happens after they've been shipped to end customers, the negative impacts will be severe.

Firmware is held in non-volatile memory such as ROM, EPROM or flash memory. Let’s take a closer look at one of them: flash memory, which enables device firmware updates (DFU) and the advantages that this gives.

By building the enormous network of wireless sensors that forms the IoT, we’re generating more data than ever before. More data promises better decision making – but only if we don’t drown in information first. Proper data management starts by processing information at the edge to filter, refine, and then prioritize what’s sent to the Cloud. AI is the best tool for the job.

Choosing the most appropriate network layout is vital to the efficient operation of any system. For wireless networks, this is highly relevant as it is tightly coupled to factors such as latency, power, speed and redundancy.

Many have noticed the announcement of LE Audio at the beginning of 2020. We summarize the main features, and, yes, there are reasons to get excited.

With Thread Group now supporting certification by inheritance, members of the Thread Group reduce dev costs by cutting time and money spent on certification processes and reuse certification already achieved on Nordic Thread products.

The ability to integrate location and movement sensors with wireless technology in sports equipment is revolutionizing the way athletic performance can be monitored, analyzed and improved.
